I recollect it like it was yesterday. fifteenth April 1992. I was a kid of 11, and my folks had sprung on me and my siblings the unexpected that we would visit Disneyland Paris the next end of the week.
The recreation center, which was at the time (if memory serves) called Euro Disney, had opened on April twelfth, and it was the fantasy of any child in the UK to have the capacity to visit.
Despite everything I wonder how my folks figured out how to bear the cost of the trek (or endure three overexcited youthful children and an infant little girl for an end of the week with Mickey Mouse).
We drove down from London, getting the ship over the English Channel, and afterward drove during that time from Calais to Disneyland on the edges of Paris. It was less expensive than flying, however the expense of a few tanks of petroleum more likely than not included.
It's more regrettable today, however. As of late the cost of petroleum has risen drastically in the UK and Europe. Truth be told, last time I was in the UK (in mid 2011, visiting the people) a liter of oil cost £1.25.
It was excruciating to top off the tank ahead of time of an excursion around the UK to visit old companions.
On the off chance that you needed to drive to Disneyland Paris from London today you could hope to top off something like twice en route, and presumably multiple times or more. When you include the expense of the cross Channel ship it all of a sudden doesn't bode well to drive.
